We were in Cleveland today, watching baseball not football. I told my girls they are doing what I wish I did when I was their age: the travelling to different stadiums, not the baseball. But I am a convert now.
But I must carry on with France '98. One of the most memorable matches was England-Argentina in the second round. Young Michael Owen's solo-effort goal was spectacular, the back and forth over the 120 minutes was exhilarating, England's controversially disallowed goal was heartbreaking, David Beckham's red card was comical and sad, and in the end England's defeat on penalties was probably predictable.
That was one crazy night. But we have to move on. If Argentina hadn't won maybe we wouldn't have witnessed one of the great World Cup goals, Dennis Bergkamp's last minute beauty to win Holland's quarterfinal against Argentina. Cool, calm skill. Beckham who?
